The album could certainly use fresh opinions.

What should the order of the four albums be? Still not decided.

I used to, but your check bounced.

I'm listening to it right now for the second time after downloading the full album Saturday night. (Not much listening time yesterday)
Some good stuff in there.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Is there a site with a comprehensive list of emoticons?

I thought Ivan did a pretty good review of the album.
Let me put it this way (* usual caveats, my opinion, no disrespect for other reviewers, etc.).
No way this is a 5-star album. No way this is a 1-star album.
I'm still on the first track but I think if I could put together a review, the result would be much like Ivan said, in the 2.5-3 range.
Also, the sound quality isn't that terrible.

Also, Robert - constructive criticism - as others have said, I think the drums are the weakest part in the music, unfortunately so much so that they stick out. If you're the one playing....sorry to say, you're going to need a more competent player on your later work to improve it. I have no problem with your playing of everything else, in particular, your guitar playing is good and I like a lot of your solos.

| Yes, I wrote Ivan and told him I appreciated his fresh criticisms (some of which I found strange coming from him).
And thanks regarding the sound quality. Much has been made of that. 
Time to get some groceries...I'll be back shortly.

| Thanks. I actually don't play the drums, but I don't use a machine either (as some believe).
